YUM!

Kimberly_F, Apr 2024

Fun making chocolate and learning a little bit about the Mayan culture. Very personalized and a lovely setting. Able to manuever my mother's wheelchair without difficulty

Thanks for sharing!

YUM

My wife and I had so much fun learning to make chocolate. And it’s only an hour which makes it an easy thing to do and still have plenty of time left for beach and chill: This is a very touristy experience. So it’s only fun if you allow yourself to go with the schtick of it all. Put on the chef’s hat, laugh at the amazing guides chocolate jokes and in the end you will delight in having made your own chocolate to take home.

thanks for the positive review, next time try the Margarita Tour (Chocolate margarita of course).

We Had A Great Time

Anonymous, Oct 2023

My parents and I were on a cruise and found that there weren't any excursions they offered that we wanted to do so when I found this on Viator we thought this workshop would be a great way to spend a couple of hours of our time in Cozumel and we were not disappointed. Our guide Patty was wonderful. First we were given a history of Mayan Cocoa which contained many interesting facts then we had the opportunity to taste freshly made corn tortillas before moving on the the making of Chocolate. It was hard work using the Mortar and Pestle but lots of fun. We had a great time. My Mom told me that my Dad has come home and already tried to make his own chocolate.

Thanks for sharing you experience and how much you enjoyed the tour. We´ll make sure to pass along the good review to Patty.

Informative Chocolate Making Experience

Devontae_C, Jul 2023

My family and I booked this tour primarily for our children. I’m pretty sure they love chocolate more than my wife and I. Overall, the tour was very informative and interactive. The entire family learned a ton about Mayan culture, Cocoa, and the local vegetation. The chocolate workshop, itself, was great experience and a bit of arm workout. My daughters are ages 8 & 12, and they both seemed to really enjoy it. Lastly, I thought the chocolate was great, but my children seemed to be hypnotized by American milk chocolate! We definitely recommend for families and groups.

Thanks for sharing your positive review with us, we really do our best to provide experiences like the one you and your lovely family received. Next time you stop by, try the Chocolate Margarita Tour ;)

Chocolate Workshop - Not what Expected

Sharon_A, Jul 2023

Tour was very informative. We certainly learned a lot, but the movie room and chocolate making room were uncomfortably hot - need better air conditioning. Also, we were under the impression that we would be able to adjust flavors to our chocolate, but this wasn't the case and I couldn't keep the instructor from adding 3 scoops of cinnamon to my chocolate mix despite telling him I don't care for cinnamon. I ended up throwing away half of the chocolate I made because it tasted too much of cinnamon (big surprise)

Response from Host, Jul 2023

We’re sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience with our tour. I’ve relayed the issue to the guides, and our team is working on a solution to make sure this doesn´t happen again. We work really hard to make sure our customers love our tours and service, so thank you for bringing this situation up to be addressed. Please let us know if decide to give us another chance in the future, and we´ll make it up to you.

Worth it!

Paty was our tour guide. She was very informative and had a lot to say about the Mayans culture. We also got to see different birds and plans, which was fun and unexpected. The actual chocolate making was very interesting. I would recommend it to others.she was very informative and had a lot to say about the money and culture.

It was a fun experience. Our guide was lovely and shared some Mayan history with us before we made some chocolate from scratch. Manage your expectations and you will enjoy it

Andrew_L, Feb 2022

We had a great time learning the history and use of cacao beans and chocolate in early civilization. And loved getting to make chocolate ourselves and the process and what good it has!
